Slender Sophs Tipoff Dave Corson, G-G soph from New Orleans is shown match ing stretch power with Wayne Lawrence, 6-9 soph from Pawcatuck, Conn. These two will lead the young Aggies against St. Mary’s Saturday night in San Antonio in the season opener. Sf/te QB/egtance’* RAV"' By GARY ROLLINS Battalion Sports Editcr A new area in basketball will begin Saturday night in San An tonio for the Texas Aggies when they tipoff with St. Mary’s Uni versity at 8. Last year, in the se cond game of the season, the Farmers downed the Rattlers by a 69-60 score. Coach Bobby Rogers, ' new head basketball coach—recently of high- ly-successful East Texas State Col lege—will send his quintet into the season’s opener in his debut to the SWC coaching ranks. Rogers established a very im pressive record as cage mentor for the Lions of East Texas. He led them to the national campionship of the NAIA at Kansas City dur ing the 1954-55 season, with an overall record at East Texas of 113 wins as compared to a meager 32 losses. One characteristic of the Lions was they liked high-scoring con tests, averaging 78 points per game. This is somewhat of a breakaway from the defensive and ball-control style of play Rogers learned under Hank Iba at Okla homa A&M. The Aggies, with only two sen ior lettermen returning in Ken Hutto and Fritzie Connally, will have to depend on their great abundance of sophomores and jun iors for their main scoring strength. Potentially, there are quite a number of “scorers” on the club, but their ability to jell into a scor ing threat and remain as such will probably decide the fate of the team for the rest of the season. The picture is' anything but dis mal, however, for Coach Rogers inherits a very high-talented huncKpX-.^anhnmm-p.s left over from 'tiic: Loeffler_• dynasty. Receiving the most acclaim is Wayne Lawrence, a 6-9 all-purpose basketball player whom Loeffler called “the best player since Tom Gola.” At one time last year, Lawrence was even considered the former LaSalle star’s equal—at least when Gola was a freshman. Wayne averaged 28 points per game as a freshman. Dave Corson, a strong “bull- Bob Rogers like” center from New Orleans will supply the Cadets with the much- needed rebound strength they have needed for so many years. Returning from the seiwice is a letterman from the 1952-53 Aggies. Bob Johnson, a 6-1 junior from Pleasant Grove has worked his way into the starting lineup and will no doubt see plenty of action this year. Also due to play a lot is junior college transfer Archie Carroll, 6-5 junior center-forward from Redlands. He’s probably one of the best shots on the squad. Of course, Neil Swisher, the spark-plug of the 1956 Cadets will return as starting guard along with Johnson. Neil averaged 12 points per game last season and was high scorer for the team. Ken Hutto has shown signs of returning to the form of his suc cessful sophomore year, and his ability to score in the clutches will make him invaluable to the squad. Other returning lettermen are Ernie Turner, junior forward from Beaumont; Jim McNichol, junior center-forward from Philadelphia, Pa.; and Jack Schwake, junior, for ward from LaGrange.
